I ask these dumb questions because I've never grown in coco coir or used this brand of nutrients. I've had some pretty decent grows with soil the last 2 years but bugs get real bad out here.

Base water PPM : 60
Canna A : 1 1/2 ml
Canna B : 1 1/2 ml
PH down : 10 drops
EC : 360 on cheap meter
Truncheon: 0.4
PH : 6.0
Total PPM was around 170- 190. Sound right?

I'm assuming the water with coco in it is runoff. No need to test that. Measure the feed going into the coco. EC and pH going in is what matters.

I grow in coco coir- dont use canna nutrients these days but if growing autos or photos this a good base, have used this in the past with good results dont go down the rabbit hole of testing run off or flushing ..

Don't test what's running out isn't exactly sound advice, your run off can tell you problems are due before they arrive.

Fact... With stable conditions the ec can drop, raise and generally fuck about... Of course you'd know that if you checked it.

Oh so he's doing it everywhere, fuck i was confused why he linked a post card from an ugly city in North Carolina in one of my threads.

Anyways, canna coco is great stuff, do not run RO water through it, that would uh, unbuffer it. You only want to run a solution with nutrients through it but tbh you should just use it out of the bag and not try to condition it in any way because it comes ... buffered .. conditioned and ready to go.

Been using Promix HP last 2 grows though and I think I'll be sticking with peat based medium for the time being cuz it's just been a lot more uh user friendly, even with experience in coco things can go wrong quick .. which can be fixed quickly (pro of coco), but why use something that can go wrong easily in the first place? I dunno use what you want lol just stick with it i'd say cuz thats the only way you'll get better and experienced.

While it maybe easier it's also non renewable which is why I moved completely to coco.

Wow lots of miss information in this thread. If you don't have first hand experience in regards to the question being asked then why the hell are you answering the question. You're only confusing the OP and spreading miss information. All coco is not created equal and the OP specified Canna Brand.

I've been using Canna Coco since 2009 with great results. It's meant to be used right out of the bag. No need to rise it or precharge it with anything. IMO if you are using 2 gallon and below I would not cut it with anything. 3gallon I would go 70/30 coco/perlite, 5 gallon 50/50. Anything bigger than 5 gallon and I think you've missed the point of Coco. Personally don't see any reason you would need to go bigger than a 3gal indoor but thats just my opinion.

You need to water coco daily IMO. If you are multifeeding set your PH to 5.8-6.0. Single daily feed to runoff I would set it lower personally around 5.6-5.7... it will drift slowly in the medium on its own.
